House number editing tips

Some basic rules should be followed when editing a house number object:

  • The house number information should be based upon local knowledge and entered according to reality.
  • The position of the display point should reflect the main entrance of the building and the position of the routing point should reflect the arrival location.
  • In general the connection between the display point, routing point and road segment should be perpendicular but there are cases where a deviation is possible.

  • The connection of the display and routing point should not cross with connections of other house numbers.
